GW, in recognition of the GW UNESCO Chair in International Education for Development and its UNESCO Fellows Program, has been selected as one of four finalists for the Forum on Education Abroad's Award for Advancing the SDGs through Education Abroad (along with AEF Firenze, Arizona State University, and Impact Explorers). 

The award honors member institutions and organizations whose education abroad programs promote economic, environmental, and social sustainability. By recognizing members who have made significant progress towards the SDGs, The Forum hopes to inspire the field as a whole to contribute to a more sustainable future for all. 

The winner will be announced at the annual conference this spring. Best of luck to the team!
